The remarks cast fresh uncertainty on the prospects of Congress passing another round of federal coronavirus aid.
WASHINGTON — A better-than-expected jobs report Friday prompted some top Republicans and advisers of President Donald Trump to argue that additional coronavirus aid may not be necessary.
"I don't think you're going to see any support among Republicans for a bailout of states and cities," he said."The most important thing now is to get rid of the extra unemployment benefits that are so discouraging to work and unfair to people who are working." "Chairman Grassley will work with his colleagues on any potential further coronavirus response legislation if it becomes necessary," he said."It’s too early to say what that legislation might encompass. It would need to address any ongoing problems in an effective manner and encourage further job growth."
The Democratic-led House has passed the $3 trillion Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act, or HEROES Act, to provide aid to state and local governments, essential workers, employers and individuals. It extends the $600-per-week boost in coronavirus jobless benefits that are set to expire at the end of July.
“In order to avoid the risk of another great depression, Senate Republicans ought to stop sitting on their hands and work with Democrats to immediately pass legislation to make sure that everyone in America has the income and job security they need to feed their families and put a roof over their heads."
